[Q] Stuck with HTC logo with four warning symbols

I ran a RUU and now the phone wont boot and just getting a HTC logo with four warning symbols and all the corners.... also when i connect to Computer and disconnect show a bootloader version and just one option - RUU...
Any ideas? I tried installing other RUUs but errors pop up.
AFAIK, my phone is unbranded.

AFAIK, your phone is bricked. It may not be, but I think it is.

Oh ok, that's not good to hear.
Any other ideas?

Did you maybe try OTA update before installing RUU? can you adb shell? did you rooted your phone? Can you go to hboot by pressing volume down+power, of course your phone must be turn off before this?

Didn't install any OTA updates.
I can't get my device to be seen by adb, tried various drivers already.
Can't go to hboot.

Click on your RUU exe only ONCE, then go to windows and run %TEMP%, find rom.zip and copy to desktop, rename to update.zip and copy to sd card. then power off phone and try. Are you absolutely sure u use right RUU? Please check radio and RUUs here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo

Nvm, found it. Trying now.
Edit : Nothing happens. Copied the update.zip to the card, turned the phone on.
Same screen.

Remove battery and put it back, hold volume down+power button 4-5 seconds. Can you enter fasboot? if so selecet recovery. Also make sure there ain't no other zip files in root of sd card. Also try to uninstall htc sync, reboot and install again.

Stuck at the htc screen and ruu screen.

Do you have branded or unbranded phone? You need goldcard if you have branded.

Not branded.

Ok, now you have couple options, reinstall usb and try RUU or second one use fastboot.exe to flash spl, radio, and system. This is tricky. Also you can take your phone to service to identify what is wrong, and then come back and say to us. you do not need to pay repair, they will tell you whats wrong and give you offer how much would it cost. Finally you must google alot and try lost of methods. Couple guys had problems like yours and solve it on different ways. Basicly we cannot help you more than this without 100% accurate radio and ruu version.

What do you mean by try to install usb?
Get a RUU and install again?
My problem now is getting the drivers to work. So I can't use ADB or RUU anymore.
It shows in the Device Manager though as Android Phone - Android Bootloader Interface.
Thanks!

i mean uninstall htc sync and usb drivers and reboot then install again drivers without htc sync. did you maybe root your phone, run custom roms flash radio before?

Ok will do.
Yes, I have root and ran custom rom (leedroid). I didn't bother with radio though.

also put blank sd sard in your phone, formatted to fat32. If you used ext partitions for app2sd+ delete them and create again normal microsd card with fat32. Or u can put another card as long as it is fat 32.

What drivers should I use?
And I noticed that when I plug in the phone a "Safely Remove" icon appears on my tray.

Dude you have no bootloader drivers thats all, download and install htc sync, then connect your phone, "android bootloader interface" will change to "htc bootloader interface" then just run an ruu

Edit : Still shows as Android Bootloader Interface, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Edit 2 : Uninstalled the drivers , shows as "My HTC" now. Tried RUU, it detects it. I'm getting error 131
Edit 3 : Tried another RUU, got error 110. I think I need to get the right RUU.
Edit 4 : Shipped roms seems to have a problem, downloads stop at the middle. Any hotfile links for the RUUs?

Please Help? is it dead?

hi guys i have acquired this fone from a mate. Says if i can fix it i can have it. lol won't boot just locks on htc screen.
stats are as follows
Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27

Apparently its from Italy(so HTC tell me in their e-mail).
Was bought from expansys
Managed to flash
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
on it but would still do nothing. extracted the Radio from the RUU in the temp folder and tried to flash it on HBOOT still wont boot.
made a goldcard for it
is it possible to fix?
I'm a SE x10i man so this HTC stuff is pretty foreign to me.

What do you mean it does not boot?
Hangs on HTC Logo? Or What screen does it hang?
You should:
1. Install HTC SYNC
2. Then install Unrevoked USB Drivers.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (holding down BACK+POWER, when it is turned off).
3. If it says Fastboot USB, Run the .exe for the RUU from your PC.
Then report back.
P.S. If you made a cgoldcard for it, it is recommended to run the RUU from there.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah hangs on the HTC logo. just came up with an error : ERROR [152]: IMAGE UPDATE ERROR

What can not be updated? The Radio? Or what part?

thats a screeny of the error. i read last night about puttin it in the freeze for 5 mins. tried it last night it worked? [email protected]#s me how :s just unplugged it and it says that the RADIO_V2 - FAIL-PU i'll try again and let ya know

ok the freezer trick worked :/ phone just did its reboot and hangs on the HTC screen again but it vibrated 8 times. :/

Try extracting the Rom.zip from the RUU. Then rename it to the PB99IMG.zip put it onto your SD card (not into folders, just to the root).
When it finds PB99IMG.zip, it starts to load it (13 secs after you press the Vol- & power key)
It gives the update/install options after 2min 20seconds (for the WWE 2.29 RUU) from the initial key press of Vol- and Power key.
FASTBOOT mode
Back+Power key:
· Bootloader (For running PB99IMG.zip)->Choose with Power key (This loads the Bootloader/Hboot mode)

in fastboot now. just selected bootloader and now its loadin the img.zip. so vol up to let it do the update?

Yes. Vol up to confirm.

RADIO_V2 Fail-PU again :/tried a 3rd time with the freezer and i got a goer. i take it as i have to reboot now?

still hangs on boot on the HTC screen. :/

Make a goldcard again (sometimes it won't work):
Use these steps.
And falsh the Rom again via the PB99IMG.zip method again.
If problem persists, try with another RUU Here.
and you should check out this method as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9154577&postcount=45
You need Android SDK installed on your PC and phone booted into Fastboot (FASTBOOT USB).

Before you run your update, make sure you wipe out the data and cache memories.
Seems to cure some issues.

@ Moscow Desire oes not apply for the RUU.
BTW, you did not tell me if you are using a custom recovery/rooted.
However if you said, that you've managed to flash the RUU. I think you not anymore.

hey sorry for long reply been away from PC. non rooted no recovery app installed. just about to make a new gold card and try RUU file again. if not will try another RUU then will let ya know on results.

Believe it or not, 5 months ago, tried to update RUU (before root and custom), and it failed. (loss of wifi, b\tooth, etc). Downloaded stock froyo, failed (needed goldcard). Tried again, failed. Wiped cache's, success. Go figgure......

Okay, but as he stated before, he has no custom recovery, so no choice for that (unless with commands in fastboot).

made the gold card with the program you posted. success
attempted to download RUU's from the that link you gave me (shipped Roms) Fail partial download
downloaded a Europe Ruu. failed due to compatibility
Re-atempted to flash the Ruu i originally posted completed fine but still no boot. locks in htc screen
starting to believe this device is quietly f#$%ed. really wann beat this thing though :/
is there another website for Current RUU's that work?

Try this http://ship.ibeta.org/shipped/Bravo/

Try this: http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
It is the same version you've flahsed

and
Install HTC Sync but close the sync program from taskbar before you start to use RUU. HTC Sync has drivers which you need so you have no other choice but to install it.

P.S. : Take out the memory card and see if it boots. And run the RUU as administrator.

Can't flash hboot - Fastboot waiting for device - drivers up-to-date

I can't flash cm7r2 hboot neither through pb99img.zip, nor through fastboot.
flashing pb99img causes a short blink of some message (can't even read it), while fastboot is waiting for device indefinitely. drivers are up-to-date, Device Manager shows present Android Composite ADB Interface while plugged in.
I don't know if it is odd but connecting a phone via USB while in recovery shows unknown ADB device in dev mgr but can't update its drivers...
current hboot 0.93.0001, PVT-1 S-OFF
EDIT:
had a problem with recognizing the Android Phone when booted normally - i've manually edited the android_winusb.inf and changed pid value to this corresponding to my device's and have chosen Android ADB Interface as the device's name but still adb shell does not see any device ...
EDIT2:
solution in post#14 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16956020&postcount=14 . thanks guys!

have you installed the required drivers on computer?

I think so, but could you point those required, just to be sure?

Try this: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
If that does not work (works for me on win7) - then try the official HTC drivers (by installing HTC Sync).

I've already used this driver. when the device is in fastboot mode, dev mgr recognizes it, installs drivers and everything seems fine, but when I reboot, it appears as Android Phone with no possibility to install the driver. strange :/
what is bothering me though is not the driver issue but impossibility to flash the PB99IMG through recovery. should I take some special steps to do so?? I put the PB99IMG-cm7r2.zip on sd, change the filename to PB99IMG.zip and try to flash it through recovery. I even tried PB99IMG-downgrade.zip but still no effect.

If your phone is branded you won't be able to flash hboot via PB99IMG.
AFAIK a so-called goldcard might help, but not sure here so you may want to check this out on the forums.
As for the driver, I installed mine by the age-proven method of installing HTC Sync app on the PC and then uninstalling it.

U need the goldcard in the sdcard then

you are probably right, as I forgot that I bought a new one... can't I make a second GC ??

Sure. The goldcard is only sd card connected and it doesn't matter which system you are running.
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

I've made my SD a GoldCard and now get "CID Incorrect! Update failed." or sth like that. I guess I need to instert my original GC?

Guy I had this problem,too.
I downloaded the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip renamd it to PB99IMG.zip,put it on Sd card but it doesn't work.
Then I opened rootExplorer and saw there that the filme name was PB99IMG.zip.zip (on pc only PB99IMG.zip) so I renamed it via rootExplorer bootet into fastboot & it worked.
Maybe you have the same problem.

installing and uninstalling HTC Sync + making my SD a Gold Card did the trick! both PB99IMG.zip and fastboot methods work.
soooo freakin happy, will try Lee 3.3.3 R5 with dalvik2nand now!

Relax you're not stuck. You got s-off which is the most important thing when rooting for the first time.

I'm still not home so try to read and see what you can get from this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229 there is says how you can install recovery and rom through bootloader.

can I download another recovery? because I cannot download the one that they linked in the guide.

where can I find & download a custom recovery?

Download recovery here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/xvpefd1yccx81lu/4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC8.zip?dl=1
It's the latest 4ext recovery.
Rename the zip to PD98IMG and put into the root of the sdcard (not any folder ) and boot into bootloader. This is also covered in the guide i think.

I formated the sd card and put the recovery file in it but it didn't work!!
I still have the same screen
nothing works please help!!!
my phone boot to a screen with a white htc sign with for triangles on the corners of the screen!!!

Did you try the tutorial i posted?

Try what muikkuman said.
When you tried to flash the recovery, did you place the pd98img.zip and then tried to get into hboot? Were you able to get into hboot?
If not you can use the hack kit to flash a ruu/return to stock.

Uninstall the antivirus program, uninstall the drivers and then reinstall the drivers...some people have had this issue and its something i advise a good bit of the time and it resolves the issue.....

[Q] Will I save my htc Desire?

Dear all,
I have been looking around the forums and downloaded a few things and looked at various solutions, but I am stuck at the first hurdle.
I have been given an htc Desire Bravo that just will not boot. I do not know how it failed originally but I can only get it into the boot screens, either the fastboot/hboot logon ot the 5 buzzes and the htc logo lock. Also it takes about 30 minutes with the battery out after every failed boot attempt to restart the boot screen.
I have run adb but it cannot tell me a cid number, I have a micro sd card in it but it does not have the pb99diag.zip on it. When I put such a file on the sd card it does not find it. Communication via adb and the phone has varied success. I suspect it is drivers and what I read is an old adb bug where server is out of date.
I have never done this before this weekend so please be gentle with me!
If I can get it to work, even to use it like a wifi tablet without phone I would be happy. I am in the UK and if we have real success I would get it on tesco PAYG
I get the "cannot find pb99diag.zip etc" dialogue when going into hboot.
The logon says

First make S-Off. I forgot how but if i think right, you must it do via revolutionary, If it success, then download 4ext recovery.IMG and flash it via fastboot and reboot in bootloader in your recovery

If u phone does not boot then u can NOT s-off, ur phone needs to be booted.. also if ur s-on and not rooted then all u can do is flash a ruu.
Did u try factory reset from bootloader menu? Try that first, u never know but chances r ul prob need to ruu a ruu.

Hi jmcclue,
Thanks for the comments. I can boot to the HBoot and Fastboot screens, thats how I could find the S-ON and version data. If I get it to reboot, I get either a white screen with just "htc" on it, or 5 buzzes and a screen with no life at all. I am hopeful to get it to S-OFF as I have had some communication through the usb to pc connection. I am not sure if I can do an RUU update as I don't seem to have a CID. I do not have a factory reset option on the HBOOT screen. I have tried clear storage but that has no effect. Perhaps I need the S-OFF first.
Cheers again,
A

Use the 2.3gb update ruu its wwe (world wide english) so dont worry bout cid. U can find it in bortaks troubleshooting guide in resources section and its naned 2.3.3 ruu. U will find it easy enough in google aswell. Search for "htc desire 2.3gb update" its a exe file so just boot ur phone into fastboot, plug in ur phone and run the ruu, hopefully it willvwork. Im a bit worried tho about the 5 vibrations u get, maybe a sign of hardware failure. But try that ruu anyway. And again u can not get s-off unless ur phone is fully working/booted.

Use the 2.3gb update ruu its wwe (world wide english) so dont worry bout cid. U can find it in bortaks troubleshooting guide in resources section and its naned 2.3.3 ruu. U will find it easy enough in google aswell. Search for "htc desire 2.3gb update" its a exe file so just boot ur phone into fastboot, plug in ur phone and run the ruu, hopefully it willvwork.

Well that was a bit wierd
If anyone can see where I went wrong, feel free to say.
I could not seem to get the link between the phone and the pc so I removed the htc sync and restarted the pc. I could then connect to the phone in some way as abd gave a command error when I sent a fastboot oem readcid which it normally does. So leaving it in fastboot with usb I ran the wwe~.exe file and it all seemed to be doing installing. There were tens of installations going to the phone I guess each reaching 100%. Suddenly I had a web page popup in my browser s.rev2pub.com/ul_cb/player.html?a=19471543&context=c23573548&size=800x600&rt=popunder&ci=10&cb=[CACHEBUSTER] recommending I download latest drivers. The wwe ruu vanished and I have no continuing processes in Task manager that I can see.
So, should I have installed in hboot? Thankfully I can still get the phone to power on. What should happen after the exe file installs?
I am able to get some response from the phone as adb devices returns the phone device number. So I hope I can try again.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks

Revolutionary S-OFF and recovery
ukubuntu said:
Dear all,
I have been looking around the forums and downloaded a few things and looked at various solutions, but I am stuck at the first hurdle.
I have been given an htc Desire Bravo that just will not boot. I do not know how it failed originally but I can only get it into the boot screens, either the fastboot/hboot logon ot the 5 buzzes and the htc logo lock. Also it takes about 30 minutes with the battery out after every failed boot attempt to restart the boot screen.
I have run adb but it cannot tell me a cid number, I have a micro sd card in it but it does not have the pb99diag.zip on it. When I put such a file on the sd card it does not find it. Communication via adb and the phone has varied success. I suspect it is drivers and what I read is an old adb bug where server is out of date.
I have never done this before this weekend so please be gentle with me!
If I can get it to work, even to use it like a wifi tablet without phone I would be happy. I am in the UK and if we have real success I would get it on tesco PAYG
I get the "cannot find pb99diag.zip etc" dialogue when going into hboot.
The logon says
BRAVO PVT-1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO 5.11.05.27

Can someone suggest where to start? I have tried a number of guides on the forum but no success so far. Even just getting an os running would be success. I will be looking at this each evening so apologies if I seem slow to respond
Thanks
Adrian

Hey Adrian, I had the same problem as you did, hopefully I can be of help.
First, like everyone else is saying you will need S-OFF.
To do this head to this site on your PC revolutionary.io hit download for windows or Linux or whatever your pc is running, then you will need to fill out information about your device (see attached screenshot). Device, HBoot number, and serial number, (the serial number can be found behind the battery of your device). Once you have done that, click "Generate Key". it will give you a key, remember it or write it down.
Then, open the file that was downloaded, and extract the contents to your documents and Run the revolutionary( should look like the screenshot attached). Plug your device in (assuming you have the drivers) and it should ask you to enter the beta key we had before. Enter that and hit enter. it will then S-off your Desire and soon ask if you would like to install a custom recovery. hit Y and then enter, once that is finished, unplug your device and in HBoot go to "Recovery". Now you can flash a ROM of your choice.
Hopefully I made sense!
Best of luck

Thank you Neibaf97
Can I confirm that I can do this from the HBOOT screen or the fastboot screen? Also where jmmclue said if I can't boot then I can't S-Off, does that mean boot to the HBOOT screen or into Android? Then if I want to load say WWE, do I put that on a microSD to get it to recover?
thanks again

Thanks lilsafbig, that was a little too ambiguous to understand, but I have a few developments.
I am able to communicate to some degree with adb between phone and pc. Before I was unable to get anything back but now with the right syntax I have got back the CID as HTC_001 and the device number. But when I run revolutionary from the fastboot USB screen the revolutionary continues to wait for the device to show. Is it likely that USB degugging was off prior to the failure, is there a way to get it on. I suggest this as when I connect it to my pc it recognizes the device and shows in the device manager as an htc unspecified device (this is progress). As I cannot boot android it does not show as an additional drive in file manger. when I try some of the fastboot oem commands I get bad command errors, whilst fastboot getvars is ok. Could this be why I cannot get revolutionary to S-OFF!
Thanks

additional info, when usb is in an in fastboot usb, the device manager sees it as android 1.0

If you can still get to bootloader / fastboot screen, then you are rarely ever bricked.
1. Ignore anything and everything to do with revolutionary and fastboot for now. I'm afraid the first few posts while trying to be helpful have been misleading. Get your phone booting up into Android OS first, i.e. into a stock ROM using an RUU
2. Use the 2.3.3. GB RUU, nothing else, it doesn't need a goldcard or care about CID etc.
3. Download it from the bottom here, then use Bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, Point [7] to run it as a PB99IMG.zip from the root of your sdcard. That way you don't need to run it through USB or care about what drivers are installed.

Thank you Eddie, I will try that. I did try flash a PB99IMG.zip before with no success but I will try again.
I found it here Official Stock Sense Gingerbread_v1.2 GB-2.3.3_A2SD – http://androidba.se/J7 for desire (neophyte)
I hope it can work out ok. I guess I format the sd card to fat32 not ext4
Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
A

That's a custom rom.
Here's the link for the 2.3.3 ruu.

That did not work because the file is not an RUU...it is a stock rooted custom ROM with A2SD (the clue is in the name). It is designed to flashed in recovery like any other ROM. Renaming it to PB99IMG.zip won't do anything.
Use the actual shipped roms RUU link provided.
Reformat your sdcard to a single FAT32 partition if necessary, then follow Method [7] of the guide, place only the PB99IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard (not in any folder)
